AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Blushing


This protea in my Dromana Hills garden always fascinates me.
The soft textures in the centre and the soft red colours are unique.
As its colour fades, its tawny textures are stunning too.
